Volkswagen's 2026 Electric Revolution: Four Affordable Models Coming
Volkswagen Group is set to revolutionize the entry-level electric vehicle market in 2026. The company will launch the 'Electric Urban Car Family', comprising four models priced under €25,000: VW ID.Polo, ID.Cross, Skoda Epiq, and Cupra Raval. This marks the group's first foray into affordable electric cars from these brands.
Currently, the compact MEB+ platform used by Volkswagen Group supports only front-wheel drive. However, the group is exploring technical solutions to introduce all-wheel drive for the upcoming electric models. The top models, including the sporty GTI and R variants, are also being considered for all-wheel drive options.
Specifically, Volkswagen is looking into all-wheel drive possibilities for the mini SUVs VW ID.Cross and Skoda Epiq. This move is part of the group's electric offensive in the entry-level segment, aiming to make electric vehicles more accessible and appealing to a wider range of customers.
In 2026, Volkswagen Group will introduce four affordable electric cars, marking a significant step in their electric offensive. While front-wheel drive is currently the norm for these compact models, the group is actively exploring all-wheel drive options to enhance their appeal and performance.
